This post is the beginning of a weekly post of a story of Max, a German student. I will write a little Kapitel every week on Fridays preferably, and you can decide how the story should continue… Let me know in the comments (preferably in German!) which questions you might have after reading it, and how you think, or would prefer it to continue!

It is seven thirty AM. Time to get up! The bed is nice and warm. And with the icy temperatures outside it feels even warmer. But Max has to get up – today he has an important appointment. His mobile phone vibrates and rings on his desk at the other side of the room. He always puts it there, so that he has to actually get up to turn it off. Normally, this annoying noise gets him on his feet immediately. Though this morning, especially this morning, Max just can’t separate himself from the heavenly warmth of his bed. His feet are snuggling in the blanket, his head is resting just a little bit longer on the pillow. His phone vibrates again, but now it’s a different ringtone – a call! Max jumps out of his bed to see who it is…
